looks good and like it could support bots. but, if one of your alliance bot's is coming down the field in the last 5-10 seconds i dont think they will have enough time to be able to manuever onto the wheel channels?

Our robot would never be able to maneuver on that ramp, since the flanges are so high.

If a robot has bumpers at the front of it, keep in mind that it may still hit the base of your arm...

Otherwise, looks good

i think it would definatley be a LOT safter to go 1" inside even SAFER for .5" maybe put some lexan across the bottom all the way so you dont need the inside!?!

Interesting idea, I wonder if any teams already have that in mind for their ramps?
